Friedrich August and Marie-Cécile have three children: a son, and two daughters.[1] The three are detailed below:
- HH Duke Paul-Wladimir Nikolaus Louis-Ferdinand Peter Max Karl-Emich of Oldenburg, born 16 August 1969 in Lübeck. He married Maria del Pilar Méndez de Vigo y Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg (b. 20 October 1970 in Madrid, the granddaughter of Karl, 8th Prince of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg) in a civil ceremony on 18 January 2001 in Wertheim, and a religious ceremony on 20 January 2001 in Bronnbach an der Tauber. They have three sons and one daughter:
- HH Duke Kirill Friedrich-August Jaime Cristobal Hermann Antonius Vincenz Josef Maria of Oldenburg, born 13 June 2002 in Berlin
- HH Duke Carlos Jakobus Leo Wilfried Josef Maria of Oldenburg, born 19 April 2004 in Eutin

Marie-Cécile and Friedrich August divorced on 23 November 1989.[1] Friedrich August later remarried Countess Donata of Castell-Rüdenhausen, the wife of Marie-Cécile's deceased brother, Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia.
British Succession
Marie-Cécile is in the line of succession to the British throne. Her son, and her son's children, as Catholics, are not, and so her elder daughter, Rixa, follows her in line of succession to the British throne, followed by her younger daughter, Bibiane.
